Ca de Conills

The Ca de Conills is a Spanish breed of warren hound indigenous to the island of Menorca, in the Balearic Islands of Spain. It is the least-known of the six dog breeds listed by the government of the islands; the others are the Ca de Bestiar, the Ca de Bou, the Ca Eivissenc, the Ca Mè Mallorquí and the Ca Rater Mallorquí. It is of variable size, and – like some other warren hound breeds such as the Podenco Andaluz – is divided into three sub-breeds: small, medium and large.

Life Span 10-14 years
Weight 10-30 kg

What to Know Before Buying a Ca de Conills

Finding a responsible Ca de Conills breeder requires more than browsing classified ads or responding to social media posts. The USDA requires any breeder who sells dogs commercially — especially those selling online or through third-party dealers — to hold a federal license and submit to regular inspections. A legitimate breeder should be willing to provide their USDA license number, invite you to visit their facility, and show you where the animals are housed and socialized.

Before committing to a purchase, ask the breeder for veterinary health records, vaccination documentation, and any genetic testing results relevant to the Ca de Conills. Reputable breeders will also ask you questions in return — about your living situation, experience with animals, and ability to provide long-term care. A breeder who asks no questions and is eager to ship an animal immediately is a significant red flag.

Use the search tool below to check whether any USDA-licensed facilities breeding Ca de Conillss appear in our database. If they do, review their inspection history carefully. Look for patterns of violations, pay attention to severity levels, and compare their compliance grade with other breeders in the same state. This due diligence takes minutes and can save you from supporting a facility with documented animal welfare problems.
